    We require all posts match the original headline with no editorializing:

    “‘Wildly underprepared’: National Guard troops seen sleeping on floors in exclusive photos”

    Please correct or we’ll have to remove it.

      I don’t know what the original title was, but it looks like they’ve fixed it, so I’m going to dismiss the report.

            I always give folks time to fix it instead of just removing it. If we tell them “hey, fix it” and it’s been hours and they’re making other posts and comments? Yeah, yank it.

            I always assume “Well, maybe they’re at work, or maybe they’re asleep…” but if there’s other activity that’s not an excuse.

    The protestors really need to get the CANG to switch sides and face off against the police. Low key convinced that’s a real possibility if orangeboi or Hesgeth tries to order them to do something really beyond the pale.

      I empathize with the hope that the national guard would side with protesters in violation of their orders, but is there any historical precedent for that?

      On the other hand, there have been plenty of historical confrontations where the national guard has engaged in violence against demonstrators.

      Maybe it can be different this time, but I don’t know.

    How did their commander in chief put it? Suckers and losers?

    They could be sleeping comfortably in their own beds but instead they’re sleeping on a hard floor in a place devoid of any charm at the whim of a tyrant to do his bidding.
